Real communication is an attitude, an environment. It is the most interactive of all processes. It requires countless hours of eyeball to eyeball, back and forth. It involves more listening than talking.

More quotes by Jack Welch
Getting the right people in the right jobs is a lot more important than developing a strategy.
Jack Welch
Insecure managers create complexity. Frightened, nervous managers use thick convoluted planning books and busy slides filled with everything they’ve known since childhood……. They worry that if they’re simple, people will think they’re simple minded. In reality, of course, it’s just the reverse. Clear, tough minded people are the most simple.
Jack Welch
Above all, good leaders are open. They go up, down, and around their organization to reach people. They don't stick to the established channels. They're informal. They're straight with people. They make a religion out of being accessible. They never get bored telling their story.
Jack Welch
There are only two sources of competitive advantage: the ability to learn more about our customers faster than the competition and the ability to turn that learning into action faster than the competition.
Jack Welch
When you were made a leader you weren't given a crown, you were given the responsibility to bring out the best in others.

Jack Welch
Just because you are the boss doesn't mean you are the source of all knowledge.
Jack Welch
I wanted to change the rules of engagement, asking for more- from fewer. I was insisting that we had to have only the best people...If you wanted excellence, at a minimum, the ambience had to reflect excellence.
Jack Welch
HR should be every company's killer app. What could possibly be more important than who gets hired?
Jack Welch
In my lifetime, Mitt Romney is the most qualified leader I've ever seen run for the presidency of the United States.
Jack Welch
If you can't energize others, you can't be a leader.
Jack Welch
The story about GE that hasn't been told is the value of an informal place. I think it's a big thought. I don't think people have ever figured out that being informal is a big deal.
Jack Welch
If we don't create private sector jobs and just - just creating public sector jobs, we're going nowhere. This is a bad game. You've got to have innovation. You've got to have tax policies that support innovation.
Jack Welch
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck.
Jack Welch
